Radiohead
Hey, thanks for your edits to the article. However, other editors keep removing them for a couple of very good reasons. It's clear from your edits that you love the band but Wikipedia articles must present a neutral point of view. That means that things should be written in the most neutral way as possible if there's scope for disagreement and you need to back up every statement with a reference to a reliable source. As an example, you can't just say things like "As of 2009 they are one of the biggest rock bands in the world, with worldwide sales of over 30 million and huge demand for their live performances." Some reasons for this are:
 * 1) What exactly does "biggest" mean?  Most critically acclaimed?  Highest selling?
 * 2) How is this quantified?  Who described them as such?
 * 3) You need to provide a source for the 30 million figure
 * 4) How big is "huge" demand?

You shouldn't just revert other editors if your contributions are removed. Instead, go to Talk:Radiohead and discuss the changes you want to make and reach a Consensus. Take special note of the WP:three-revert rule. If you keep reverting the article frequently, you can be blocked from editing.

Please don't let any of this put you off. You write well, it's clear that you're very keen to contribute and it's great to have you on board. I'm regularly online, so please ask me any questions and I'll gladly help you get started. Papa November (talk) 08:25, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
